Understanding the Character System

Fortnite's character system is flexible, devoid of rigid class or role restrictions. Instead, it offers a vast array of cosmetic items—skins—that alter your character's visual appearance without impacting gameplay. These skins, particularly those from collaborations with franchises like Marvel or Star Wars, allow for significant self-expression on the battlefield.

Modifying Your Character's Appearance

To change your character's look:

1. Access the Locker: Open the "Locker" tab (usually located at the top of the screen). This houses all acquired cosmetic items.
2. Select a Skin: Click the first slot (leftmost) to browse your available skins. Choose your desired skin.
3. Style Selection: Many skins offer style variations, allowing for color changes or complete appearance alterations. Select your preferred style.
4. Apply Changes: Click "Save and Exit" (or close the menu) to apply the selected skin. If you own no skins, a random default skin will be assigned. A recent update allows default skin selection within the Locker.

Gender Selection

Character gender in Fortnite is determined by the selected skin; each skin has a predefined gender. Gender cannot be independently changed unless offered as a style variation within a specific skin. To play as a particular gender, choose a corresponding skin. If needed, purchase a suitable skin from the daily-updated Item Shop using V-Bucks (in-game currency).

Acquiring New Items

Expand your cosmetic collection through:

• Battle Pass: Purchase a Battle Pass to unlock exclusive skins and rewards through seasonal progression.
• Events and Promotions: Participate in events and promotions for unique skin rewards.

Footwear Customization

Introduced in November 2024, "Kicks" allow footwear customization. Choose from real-world brands or Fortnite-exclusive designs. Access this in the Locker; however, compatibility with outfits is currently limited, with ongoing development to expand compatibility. Use the "Shoe Preview" function before purchasing to ensure compatibility.

Utilizing Other Cosmetic Items

Beyond skins, personalize your experience with:

• Pickaxes: Various designs and effects for resource gathering and melee combat.
• Back Blings: Decorative back accessories.
• Contrails: Effects displayed while gliding.

Customize these items within the Locker using similar steps to skin selection. Embrace the customization options to create a unique and enjoyable in-game persona.
